Private Flight

[Starfire]

"I am leaving for now, I shall return shortly!" Starfire called out to the seemingly empty household.She wasn't sure where her friends were and didn't even know if they were still home, but she said it anyway just in case they were, even though she received no answer. Her green eyes swept the household one more time before she exited out the door. Stepping outside, she took off into flight towards the city. Strapped to her waist was timer, for she decided to she was going out to train to fly faster. Reaching the city, she landed back on th ground and walked to the woods, she wanted to make sure she didn't disturb anybody while she trained for her flight.

Reaching the woods, Starfire glanced around and didn't see anybody, so flew into the air and turned the timer off, suddenly bursting off in flight. She quickly dodged each tree that came in her path, which was part of her training obstacle. She gradually began to go faster as she pushed herself. The normal time it took her to reach the other side of the woods is normally a minute and twenty-four seconds, which was still fast, but she was hoping to approve. She grunted as she accidentally flew through some branches she hadn't dodged in time, but kept going. Reaching the other side of the woods, she pressed the "time" button, which stopped it and unstrapped it from her waist. She looked at it and the time said one minute and fourteen seconds. Starfire inhaled as a big grin stretched across her face. She then giggled and moved her arms in an excited way. She then began to fly in circles.

suddenly a time warp opened up in the sky as A Male in his late teens came flying though. the man looked around as he looked at the Gate as it closed. He sighed ok that was too close for comfort. He sighed as he took in the Present air. It was alot better than the time he came from. That live in constant fear. Living hear for a while while on the hunt for slade would take some geting use to as his child hood has been diffrant than what this world was like. Well oh well stuff happens.


"This time....it looks good sigh man Slade has made my childhood hell" Michael said not reliseing there was someone flying above him. He sighed as he thought about what had happened in his time. Alot of stuff had happened to be honest. He wondered would he ever be able to go back to his time the way it used to be. Not living in fear not a living Night mare just the way this time was. he doubted it until he found slade there was no way on earth or even space that was going to happen.

[Starfire]

Starfire continued flying around happily. I have improved! I look forward to telling my friends of this wonderful news! This is fantastic! Perhaps Raven would wish to partake in the training to improve her speed of flight next time. It would be fantastic if she did! She laughed again as she flew high into the sky and quickly came down, making a sharp turn before she crashed in the ground. She twirled now low to the ground as she flew East of the forest, soon reaching the clearing again, only to turn back and return to the spot she was previously in.

Starfire stopped, realizing a Time Warp had opened up in the sky. Her eyes then glowed green as well as her fists, thinking it was Warp returning for something. She tensed as someone fell out, but calmed down as she realized it was not Warp, it was a different man.

"This time....it looks good sigh man Slade has made my childhood hell"[/u]

Starfire gasped a bit at the mention of Slade and walked over to the man from behind, tapping his shoulder. "Excuse me, sir, but if I may ask, why do you speak of Slade? Who are you and why did you come from some sort or portal thing?" She asked crossing her arms against her chest and gave the man a suspicious look.

[derksenm]

Michael turned around and nearly jumped out of his skin it was his mother Starfire of course she didnt know yet but Michael didnt relise that as he had goten the crap scared out of him. He sighed before takeing a few deep breaths and looked at Starfire and began to reply.

"son of a Klorbag Mom are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Michael exclaimed after geting a hold of himself. aparently she was if so she did a good job of almost giving him on gese. He sighed upon geting that out of his system thank god.

It probly wasnt the best idea to him to have snaped at his mother like that but danm he got the crap scared out of him like no tommrow. he shook his head before looking at his mother and awaiting for a reply. He had a good feeling Starfire was going to be shocked after what he had said. Hopefuly though that would explain why he had mentioned slade. He probly should of kept that to himself but it was too late now. oh well whats in t he past is in the past.

[Starfire]

Starfire watched as the man had jumped when she tapped him on the shoulder and just watched as he took some deep breathes and looked at her.

"son of a Klorbag Mom are you trying to give me a heart attack?!"[/u]

Starfire's eyes widened as she recognized the Tamaranian language he had just spoken, but was even more suprised when he called her "mom". "Excuse me, sir, but I am not your mother, I am not even married. Therefore, I have no children, but tell me, you are Tamaranian, yes? You can certainly speak the language. You also did not answer my question, why do you speak of Slade? What connection does he have to you?" I'm certain the Titans would know if Slade had any connection between any normal person.. "Unless.." She said, thinking half-out loud, half purposely. "You are working for Slade!" She half-yelled as her eyes glowed green again. She then gripped the cuff of his shirt around his neck and pushed him against the tree, raising her other hand with a starbolt inside of her palm. "Explain yourself!" she demanded as she squinted a bit at him, but was looking at him in a more threatening way.

[derksenm]

Michael's eyes widdened. Ok this was not going well. He sighed and tried to move but she had him pined to a wall or tree in this great ah crap. he sighed and began to explain himself anyways.

"one question at a time gese mom!" Michael yelled before begining to explain himself. "ok first off yes i am Tamaranian half-Tamaranian to be precise." Michael explained before standing well floating still and looking at starfire his mother.

"Now i can understand why the whole "Mom" bit would confuse you because well your not married in THIS time. The name is Michael "Koriand" Grayson Michael for short. I come from 18 years in the future" Michael stated before pointing towards Starfire.

"And i am your and Robin's Son from the future witch is living in costant fear at the hands of slade" Michael finshed as he waited for his mother Starfire to reply.

[Starfire]

Starfire stood silently as she watched the man sigh and tried to move. He then told her one question at a time and called her "mom" again. "You must have me confused with someone else, I am not your mother. I am certain I would remember having a child, and yet I do not, so therefore, you cannot be my child. I would rather prefer you call me Starfire." She said as she let her eyes go back to normal and she loosened her grip around his shirt.

"ok first off yes i am Tamaranian half-Tamaranian to be precise."[/u]

"Only half? Tell me, who are your parents? Is there another Tamaran on Earth I have not met? Or is there a human on Tamaran who was not present during my visits?" Starfire asked as she tilted her head, giving him a confused look. She then released him from her pin, realizing now that even if he did try to attack her, she would probably be the one to prevail since she was full-blooded.

"Now i can understand why the whole "Mom" bit would confuse you because well your not married in THIS time. The name is Michael "Koriand" Grayson Michael for short. I come from 18 years in the future"[/u]

"18 years in the future? Then Tell me, why are you here now? How did you get here?" Starfire continued to throw questions at him even though he told her one at a time. "So, you are Michael? It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Starfire." She said as she gave him a small smile. She then jumped as he pointed at her.

"And i am your and Robin's Son from the future which is living in constant fear at the hands of slade"[/u]

Starfire turned red as he said that he was her and Robins child. "Ch-child?! But we are still at the stage of what they call "dating"! We most certainly will not have a child so soon! Will we...?" Still red, she turned to the side and went off thinking. Coming back to reality as Michael said that the future is at the hands of Slade, she quickly turned to look at him. "The hands of Slade? The future, you say it is in danger, yes? Tell me, how do we stop it!? You have some plan, yes?"

[derksenm]

Michael chuckled at the shade of red on his mother's face and nodded. "true you two are only dating now but im from the future" Michael said with a smile before rubing his chin and shook his head. "Unfronatly not because for one i dont even have a clue where Slade is at the moment in this time" Michael said with a sigh. It was true he had not clue on this time where to start looking for slade. man talk about bad luck. he sighed and looked at his mother before nodding make sure she got all that he hoped she did.

it was most likely alot to take sence he was from the future and all. Time traveling was tricky situation to explain. so danm. "But if is not stoped every teen titan on this planet is doomed to death I was lucky enough to leave a scar on him. But i still dont get why he let me go" Michael explained before waiting for a reply.

[Starfire]

"You are.. From the future?" This information was confusing Starfire. But I have been to the future, more than eighteen years, I had been there twenty years from now.. Then again much has happened since that time, perhaps our future has changed. Starfire then put her hands together as another big grin was stretching across her face. "This is most wonderful news!" She said happily as she floated into the air again and grabbed Michael's hand, shaking it pretty fast. "Thank you for sharing, I am most delighted!" Letting go of his hand, she flew around again, but this time even more happy than when she discovered she approved her time.

Starfire stopped in the air as she heard him mention Slade again. Floating back down, she looked at him, sort of concerned. "You are familiar with Slade, I presume. Please, what is your connection with him?" She asked now getting a concerned look on her. "He is not a man to be messed around with. You may be from the future and may be half-tamaranian, but Slade is not someone other than the Titans, as I said, be interfered with."

"But if is not stopped every teen titan on this planet is doomed to death I was lucky enough to leave a scar on him. But i still dont get why he let me go"[/u]

Starfire inhaled as he explained that. "The world, is to be doomed? Without the Titans, who is there to help?" She then realized she was thinking aloud. "I am most sorry! I did not mean to say that out loud!" She shook her head and concentrated again. "So you have fought Slade previously and he had left you alive? Perhaps he saw no reason in killing you.. Seeing as though you are alone, you may not triumph as much. In response to what you mentioned earlier, no one knows about Slade's whereabouts.. It is really bothering Robin too.." Starfire's eyes then saddened at the thought of Robin trying to track down Slade, only to fail and Robin's anger rising.

[derksenm]

"Dad..." Michael stated simply before his anger slightly rised as his hands turned into starbolts almost. "That monstor slade....he beated him to his death right in front of my eyes" Michael stated the memory was the one burned in his mind. he just couldnt belive slade would do such a thing. But than again this was slade. That man pissed him off behond belif he killed his freinds and family slowly but surely. the pain was alot on him as he was the only survivor from that faithful day when slade attacked he just ugh it was alot on him.

"First My own father....followed by you mom....than beast boy.....than raven....and finaly cyborg he" Tears where starting to well up in the young half-Tamaranian's eyes is was alot to explain and re living it in his mind was not easy on him either as he had already live though it once.

[Starfire]

Starfire looked back at Michael as he called Robin dad, then looked down at his hands, which almost turned bright with starbolts. Her eyes widened as he said that Robin was beat to death right in front of him. She could tell he was furious. "Do not despair, Slade will be stopped. Have faith in the Titans, we will not surrender. Surely you are aware of this, since you claim that Robin is your father eighteen years from now." She said, trying to reassure him. "Please, for now, there is no need for anger.. Focus on now instead of later, when Slade makes his appearance, then you can drudge up the past and take your anger out on him.." She really was jut trying to help, but she wasn't sure if she was helping much now or not.

First My own father....followed by you mom....than beast boy.....than raven....and finaly cyborg he"[/u]

Starfire listened as he listed how the deaths were placed. She then saw the tears in his eyes. Feeling bad for making him explain, she walked over and put her arms around him. In other words, she was hugging him. "It is alright, you do not have to explain it anymore. I apologize for making you re-live this." She wanted the tears in Michael's eyes to disappear, she did not wish to make him cry and she really did feel bad about it. She held him, hoping it would make something better. "We are here now, and believe me, the future will be changed. I have changed it before, if so, I will do everything I can to do it again."

[derksenm]

Michael nodded as his mother gave him a hug to try and calm him down he sighed and calmed down a little before looking up at the ssky and closeing his eyes. He pulled out some glass item from his pocket. "Slade has completely wrecked my childhood" Michael said before crushing the item as it was the item slade gave him as pure tourcher towards the young one. "He is going to pay dearly!" Michael stated. he hated Slade more than life its self and boy that was big indded Michael sighed as he had regained his normal composure well for a moment.

Suddenly Michael heard a semi grumble Michael looked around to see where it was comming from it turned out it was coming from..his stomack Michael rubed the back of his head in and chuckled nurvously. "ehehe guess that time travel took more out of me than i thought" Michael said with a nurvous chuckle.

[Starfire]

Starfire let her arms fall to her side and she took a few steps back. She looked up at the sky with Michael. It seemed to be growing darker now as the clouds began to gather in the sky. The sky seems saddened by the news of our future.. I wonder how Robin will react when he learns of Michael, especially about Slade apparently killing us all.. He will overreact, probably. She sighed and looked back down, rubbing her arm bit. I do not wish to see him that way, not again.. I do not like him yelling at anyone, or me..but I cannot keep this from him, he must know.. She then went off into thought of how should we tell Robin of Michael and maybe, he could explain about their future nd she could keep him from losing it.

Then Starfire's train of thought crashed when she heard a grumble. Looking up at the sky, she thought perhaps it was thunder. The sky is not that dark and it is not raining... Michael then chuckled nervously and told her that time travel took energy out of him and something in her mind clicked. "Oh! You are hungry!" She exclaimed as she grabbed Michael's hand and flew in the air, dragging him along. "Since you are Tamaranian, you can fly, can you not? Anyway, come, we shall go to the tower, or perhaps you'd rather we go to the Titans favorite Pizza place? Which do you prefer?"

[derksenm]

Michael thought for a min. it was true he was hungry he guessed titan's tower sence he had not seen it in a while. Slade had completely dystroyed titan's tower upon his attack Michael looked up before smileing, "Titan's tower" He said smileing before a semi smirk came on his face. "Race ya there mom!" Michael said before taking off full speed he had a pretty good speed due to the childhood he had lived up in. Hell was pretty much what decribed the childhood he lived in as hell pure hell. it was a simple as that. He sighed in his head but during the time he would be in this time maybe he could get over the dystruction of his time.

Michael wondered how fast his mom of this time was. he sure had a fun time raceing her back in his time so yeah. he contiued flying seeing if his mom would catch up.

[Starfire]

Starfire looked at Michael patiently as she waited for his response, then he smiled at her.

"Titan's tower"[/u]

Starfire then gave him a big grin. "Come then and see our beloved home! Perhaps you'll even be able to see the rest of the Titans, if they are not occupied. I must caution you though, some food may be out -of--" She then was cut off by Michale, who had challenged her to a race. "A race is what you shall receive then. It is most fortunate that I have trained to improve my flying ability." She said as she took off in the air. Gusts of wind shook the trees as she zipped by, quickly coming up behind Michael. "I will be victorious!" She taunted him as she flew right beside him. She had seen Beast Boy and Cyborg play video games and watched as Beast Boy would repeatedly say that he was going to win, even though most of the time he lost. She didn't know if Michale was going to catch on that she was playing or if he was going to take it seriously. If he did, she would of course apologize, but right now was no tim for her to go soft. She began to push herself and slowly began to go ahead of him, but not by much, not even a finger's length ahead.
